Pros: a unique sound that strikes out a direction that others seem unwilling to take Cons: can't maintain its momentum, tends to repeat itself
Most people got their first exposure to Maroon 5 through the ubiquitous airplay of their first single, Harder to Breathe. Not so for me. I don't know if I somehow managed to avoid the single on the radio for the first half of the year, or if I ...
Pros: Effective mixture of rock and R&B, great vocals (if you don't mind a little of the high-pitched/boy-band thing). Cons: Jane, you ignorant sl*t. They've written too many songs about you.
Well, it's about time I got to this one, eh? For a band whose breakthrough album came out in 2002, and who established themselves on radio with two insanely catchy radio singles the following year, you'd think I'd have gotten into Maroon5 a ...
Pros: A handful of excellent songs, very catchy, well produced... Cons: Not consistent, not focused, sometimes repetitive
Maroon 5 isn’t an innovative band. Entertaining, yes, but their music doesn’t smack of creative energy. What it is however is a breath of fresh air. It’s certainly pop but unlike much of what we hear on the radio it is not typical. ...
Pros: Great blend of rock/r&b, super beats, assertive lead singer and some innovative melodies Cons: Several tracks sound similar, but the ones that don't compensate plenty.
It seems that "Harder To Breathe" is one of them strange songs that tells you almost nothing about what the artist's album sounds like. It's not even so much that the rest of the album sounds remarkably different than the single, it's just that ...
Pros: Decent beats, impressive chops, and hey, I like his voice! Cons: Some songs feel disjointed, others scream "FILLER!". Just like that: "FILLER!"
Here's why I love my wife: I spend so much time looking for lost treasures, obscure beauty, and ugliness as art, so much time wandering used bins and online stores, so much time following the (admittedly almost always absolutely accurate) ...
Pros: Generally decent music, Some good lyrics, Some good vocals Cons: Pretenses of being a harder-rocking band, Usual debut problems
It's hard for me to believe how fast time flies sometimes. Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane" debuted almost five years ago with its radio success starting almost four years ago. That means I've been considering this group and purchasing their debut for ...
As I get older it is getting increasingly difficult to keep up with all of the artists (and I use the term liberally) popping up on the musical scene like so many musical weeds in an ever shrinking garden of multi-colored and vibrant lily's. Lately I ...
Pros: it sounds different than most of what's on the radio Cons: it still isn't all too hot for the most part
In a radio landscape littered with teen pop acts, post 90s rock bands with little originality and even less to say, nu-metal acts with fading fortunes, bling bling hip hop acts and so on and so forth, in all of this, it may be surprising that the only ...
Pros: Soulful songs like "This Love" are reasons to enjoy Maroon 5's musical ability. Cons: Some songs aren't organized well, while other songs have lyrics that do not make sense.
Introduction Maroon 5 was pretty much a tiny dot on the map when I first heard their radio hit, This Love, but since then, their popularity and style has grown to account for a large portion of my music tastes. One listen to this CD's ...
Pros: Good mix of tracks, Lead vocal, Overall feel... Cons: Quality of the tracks sags somewhat in the middle of the album...
I'm very content with the life of a student - none of those tiresome nine-to-fives, no dreaded 'routine'...Such a status doesn't come without the obvious drawbacks, however - a very empty wallet being one…I can spend hours browsing the music store, ...
Pros: Stellar Musicianship, vocals, songwriting, Matt Wallace's production. Cons: May be too different for radio to really grab a hold of.
Preamble:So here I am driving around near where I work and what do I see a local store going out of business. Being the music fan that I am this is like giving a junkie cheap drugs. I pop into the store and over the course of 2 different trips I...
Pros: musically diverse, yet cohesive Cons: lyrics are so vague, they sometimes border on abstract
Don't know a thing about rock and I won't pretend that I do. But I do know what I like and I can say with the utmost confidence that Songs About Jane is one of the most slept-on albums from last year, hip-hop or not.
Pros: Harder To Breathe Cons: Virtually impossible to distinguish one song from the next
I've put off writing a review of Songs About Jane, primarily because I listened to it a grand total of twice and promptly forgot that I even owned it. During one of my anal retentive episodes where I found myself re-alphabetizing my CD ...
Pros: Fresh stuff, upbeat, appeals to a wide variety of tastes Cons: Nothing singularly groundbreaking or notable; the album is good as a WHOLE
I first saw Maroon 5 at a John Mayer concert on Valentine's day. The concert was awesome, and while Maroon 5 was generally well received, it was obvious everyone went to see Johnny play so they didn't get the credit they deserved. These guys have ...
This album is groovy in spots, offering bluesy funk on Shiver and a catchy, soulful disposition on Harder to Breathe. Must Get Out slows things down w...More at Buy.com
